Re: 135L is the alternative to go for

I agree with fogmaker.

my 85lii was stellar. Great wide open but even more fantastic stopped down...

My 135l well very good but the 72isii is sharper, faster AF and more contrast...

and of course far more flexible and IS .... so 135l had no use and had to go.

reading these forums over last few years I notice a lot of people thought same and did same.

I dealt with this before: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/38050793

Fine if the zoom works for you. Can you get the same results wide open? No.
